Ancient Amber Beetle

The Ancient Amber Beetle is an Epic bug in Palia.

Description

“	One of the oldest known insects species in Palia, was said to exist in the time of humans. Found in the forests of Bahari Bay. Also has a chance to be found when chopping trees in Bahari Bay.	”
–In-Game Item Description

Ancient Amber Beetles have a very distinct yellow and red pattern that sticks out in the grass, making them fairly easy to tell apart from the Spotted Stinkbugs and Garden Snails that can also be found in these same areas.

How to Obtain

Bug Catching

Ancient Amber Beetles can be found in the Bahari Forest in north Bahari Bay, including the Flooded Steps, The Outskirts, Proudhorn Pass, the Thorny Thicket, and the Statue Garden, at any time of day.

There is also a small chance to spawn an Ancient Amber Beetle when harvesting large or medium Sapwood trees anywhere in Bahari Bay.

Behavior

Ancient Amber Beetles are alerted by nearby players and Smoke Bombs, quickly fleeing in a straight line. They do not stop moving once in motion, meaning players will need to aim carefully to hit the Ancient Amber Beetle with another Smoke Bomb before it burrows into the ground and disappears. Because they are quite fast, Sticky Smoke Bombs are a strategy players can employ to slow them down.

Drops

There is a chance the Ancient Amber Beetle will drop the following item when caught:

• 1 - 14 Silk Thread
